I've never tied a quilt, but I LOVE the way it looks! If I ever get around to making one for myself that's how I'll do it.
As for machine stitching, practice practice practice. Nobody is a pro at it the first couple of times out!

i hand quilt, machine quilt and tie depending on the individual quilt. while in my mind, a tied quilt is a "comforter", I don't think the method of finishing determines whether or not it is a "quilt". I think of a tied quilt as being puffy and snugglier, but thats just me.

I think tied quilts are fluffy and soft. I know of a church where a small tied quilt is given to a member who is in need of prayer. Each knot is tied by a church member on Sunday morning, with a promise to say a prayer.
